The 2020–21 San Antonio Spurs season was the 54th season of the franchise, its 45th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 48th in the San Antonio area. After a one-year absence from postseason play, the Spurs finished as the number ten seed with a 33–39 record, qualifying for the Page–McIntyre system tournament to determine the final two teams that advance to the main playoff bracket in the elimination bracket. The Spurs were defeated in the elimination round by the Memphis Grizzlies 96–100, ending their season. It was the first time in franchise history that the Spurs failed to reach the playoffs in consecutive seasons.[1]
